seungwoo

wakes up on the weekends to his kids sprawled over him on the bed because they felt bad that he was sleeping on such a big mattress all alone. the best at sneaking away to make breakfast and drink coffee without waking them for even a second.

took two days to learn how to put a car seat in the back of his car properly. didn’t leave the house for two days because of it. had to watch so many youtube videos but couldn’t focus on both the video and the seat at the same time. years later he’ll be the one installing it for his friend’s kids.

literally just a big toy for little kids. they’ll ask to climb on him or be held either way, why should he deny them such joy? is always carrying a kid on his shoulders or tossing them up over his head only to catch them.

squishes his kid’s cheek into his own until they break into laughing fits.

the single moms of his kid’s friends are completely infatuated with him. like he’s constantly getting signals that they are interested in him. his kids are never without their friends just because the moms make playdates as an excuse to see him.

the kind of dad to get on the bike or skateboard with kids to teach them not to be scared. swings them extra high. races his kids and lets them win.

extra quick to pay for his kids and their friends tickets to go to concerts or school events, but he has to chauffeur. he’s also the ride so he blasts music to get the kids hyped before they even get there and then drives back in relieved silence while they sleep soundly in the backseats.

quietly cries in the middle of the night over how proud of himself and his babies he is.

seungsik

has no concept of the outside world as long as his kids are around. focuses on them twenty-four hours of the day and more if he could.

his kids are never late to anything, ever. doctor’s appointment? waiting in the parking lot. school day? the kids are sitting in the cafeteria with the ones eating breakfast just so he knows they’re not late. birthday party? he’s holding it at his house, there’s no way they’ll be late.

doesn’t do the parental approach where he asks his kids what they’re doing in life, but waits for them to tell him instead. doesn’t let a day go by where he doesn’t tell them they can be whatever they want to be in life.

forehead kisses all day long no matter their age. will do it in front of their friends, whoever they're dating, in public. he doesn’t care who’s looking as long as his kids know they’re loved.

goes absolutely berserk buying gifts. not expensive ones, but useful ones such as an instrument or something the kids have been asking for so it has meaning.

has at least five emergency kits on stock at all times. one in the car, three in the house, one in his bag.

constantly googling easy recipes for parents with busy schedules.

always has a smile on his face no matter what the situation with his kids are! is literally trying his best.

chan

less than fully equipped for the position, but is still up for the challenge that only has rewards.

stocks up on food like it’s an apocalypse and is constantly giving some sort of snacks to his kids. the “let me hold this french fry in front of the air conditioner in the car while i drive so i can hand it back to my child” kind of dad.

the field trip dad that always goes with the full class on trips and brings little packed lunches for everyone to eat.

holds family game nights in the middle of the week to let everyone stay up late on a school night and let off some steam while winning at video games, board games, physical games etc.

never has to argue with his kids or scold them. there’s some type of compromise like they give up something of theirs for a week and he does their chores so everyone is equal and things go back to normal.

has more kids in his house than he has kids.

thought taking on being a single parent would need more effort but he’s actually really steady with things under control. until a kids hit puberty, then that’s all out the window and he’s resorting to parenting books out of sheer panic.

leaves his door open at night even if his kids are teens just in case they need to run to his room.

sejun

the dad who specifically gets the shopping carts made into little cars just to make engine noises loudly through the entire store while receiving funny looks and laughter from his kids.

always has a kid hiding behind his legs out of shyness because they feel protected by his strong physical appearance.

is hysterical when he’s changing a baby in the bathroom and a grown man passing through has to run away because he can’t handle it. it’s also a dad-like ego boost to him.

went through second-hand embarrassment the entire time his kids had puberty because he too forgot what it was like to have acne and uncontrollable emotions.

tried teaching his kids how to drive by himself first. big open parking lot, and he still had to get a professional driving teacher a week later. his kid did fine, but he missed a pothole and realized he was in over his head thinking he could teach everything all by himself.

the dad that can buy almost anything embarrassing for a grown man to be carrying (like a huge teddy bear bigger than he is) but menstrual products make a blush run over his face! still gets them though.

can recite at least four scripts to movies by memory for at least twenty years after hearing them every day his kids were in his house.

gets a chain necklace with little charms to remember memories of being a hard working, single dad raising good kids and is still kicking ass.

hanse

his kids are late to everything. like formally late. so late that whatever they were meant to be at is almost over. his excuse? “at least they’re here, right?”

you know the ‘sees McDonalds and stops or doesn’t’ meme? hanse is the one who goes through the drive-through just to get a coffee and nothing else.

has not and never will force his kids to do their homework alone. believes that having him sit in their range to ask questions is more effective than them questioning if something is right/accurate all alone and going in with it incomplete because they didn’t know what to do.

his kids might be late, but they’ve got the best grades.

has never had to raise his voice because his kids like things calm and uncomplicated just like he does.

accidentally influenced his kids into his style. soft t-shirts, baggy jeans with chains, don’t even ask about his piercings because that’s the first thing they asked for when they turned into teenagers.

honestly over-thought about being a dad for such a long time when they were babies that everything that comes in life (being sick, mean kids, friends parting, classes being difficult, daily schedules) all came easy to him.

high fives/fist bumps his kids in public but will full on bear hug them behind closed doors while spinning them. they’ll be adults still getting hugged tightly and spun by their dad until he can’t lift them anymore.

byungchan

doesn’t have a single moment where he’s alone. there’s a kid with their body wrapped around his ankle, it might not even be his own. someone is tugging at the trim of his shirt asking to be picked up, that one is his.

the dad at the park with his phone out trying to secretly film his kids playing so when they’re older he has something to look back on. also he takes a thousand pictures every day.

helmets. everyone is wearing a helmet or they must stand still and do nothing. he does not want to be the lone wolf dad sitting in the ER all afternoon with his kid suffering from a concussion because they forgot their helmet.

yes his kids are as accident prone as he is. yes he is aware of it. yes he has them all padded up and has carpeted stairs in his house because of it.

even better with his kids being older because he loves talking to them and getting to know what they’re turning out to be like. keeps them up late going through old photo books and watching home movies of when they were babies until they all pass out on the living room floor with the films still playing.

collects everything until he has more boxes in storage than storage space. baby teeth, the kid’s old homework so he can brag about how smart they are, embarrassing teenager pictures they wanted destroyed but he couldn’t part with, baby blankets, old and overused sports equipment, etc.

looks at his kids like they were just born yesterday. sparkling eyes while hugging them tight while they’re saying they can’t breath.

will hold his kids hands until they are grown adults and they start holding their own kids hands, mark his words.

subin

constantly gets told he looks like his kid’s older brother and not their dad.

coaches for his kids sports teams thinking it’s a good way to keep them close but he ends up falling in love with all of the kids and becomes a secondary father-figure to all of them.

always knows what his kids are thinking, when they’re lying, having a hard time, or just up in the clouds. and he always knows how to make things better.

the dad who bends down and gets on the kids level to speak to them instead of making himself appear bigger or more intimidating since he’s the parent.

scolds himself more often than he scolds the kids because he gives into getting them things like foods and snacks they asked for when he could be teaching them valuable life lessons about how they won’t always get what they want.

keeps up with dance choreography even if the song is more mature with his kids becoming teens just so he can dance at their school events and embarrass them to no end.

the dad that invites his adult kids back home during the holidays so he can see them sleeping in their old beds again.

is the embodiment of the :D face when he sees his kids off in the distance playing and knows he’s doing well with them.
